The judges reviewed both exhibition edits and 'dream project' briefs submitted by the 18 shortlisted photographers, before choosing which three from each age group would go through to the next round.

Each finalist now receives £1,500 to shoot their dream project. They will also create a Magnum in Motion multimedia essay and attend a second mentoring session with a Magnum photographer. Ultimately, one winner from each age group will be awarded a £5,000 prize and the two younger photographers will do paid internships with Magnum Photos.
